Absolute masterpiece. If you've played Stray and never found another game like it, this is the one. Amazing story, wonderful level design, cozy and relaxing atmosphere, mysterious vibes, artistic direction is absolutely GORGEOUS, and there is this wonderful tech, abandonned & exploration feeling. The gameplay elements are wide and well implemented, clean, satisfying and engaging. The sound design helps a lot and is a huge win as well, especially for dialogues with this "typo" sound that changes for each character. The lore/story part is great as well and I was eager to know more about the lore. Just the end isn't what I was expecting, the choice doesn't have enough impact in my opinion. The only real downside is narration. It feels a little bit too "modern" and "juvenile" and lacks naturalness while being almost cringe sometimes. There also is an emotional depth that lacks precense and authenticity in the dialogues. I played the game in french, and the inclusive writing is very disturbing : while this is a totally respectable choice, it makes everything feel artificial and forced, to the point where I got lost in the genre of the characters (for example I thought Nefle was a feminine character), and I often had to read a second time to try to understand the "ellui"-type of words. Again, I think this is a respectable and assumed decision, but maybe to an extent where it might impact the game and the player experience too much (at least mine), especially since we don't usually use that writting. Music is great as well, matches perfectly the identity of the game, it might just lack diversity sometimes. This remains one of the best games I've played in my life. I highly recommand playing it on controller though, the experience is peak ! Thanks, and hyped to see what what's to come from this studio in the future !

Wholesome and cosy game, with a very pretty graphic style. It has a lot of personality.
